About this listen
Iran unveils US war plan with proxies
Mandela grandson linked Gaza flotilla sparks concern
Muscat talks unlikely to yield Iran deal
The time is now 3:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Iran has published a detailed concept for war with the United States, describing missile barrages, proxy escalation, cyber operations, and threats to global oil flows, according to Tasnim news agency. The war scenario begins with US strikes on nuclear and military sites in densely populated areas, followed by a rapid Iranian counter-barrage aimed at US regional bases. The document touts hardened underground infrastructure and redundant command networks designed to survive an initial blow and enable sustained retaliation. It portrays a saturation strategy where large salvos of ballistic missiles and drones are intended to tax Patriot and THAAD defenses, while Tehran’s axis of resistance ignites parallel fronts. Under the plan, Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthis, and Iran-aligned Iraqi militias would expand attacks, complicating any focus on Iran itself. The concept echoes recent years of proxy warfare across Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and the Red Sea, where Houthi maritime attacks disrupted shipping and drew international responses. Additionally, Tehran’s cyber component would target transport, energy, finance, and military networks.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), activists plan to resume the Gaza flotilla next month, aiming to launch about 100 ships, with one of them linked to Nelson Mandela’s grandson, who is quoted as saying: "We will cause Israel to collapse, bring it to its knees."
In US Policy Concerning Israel, Israeli officials say there is a low likelihood of reaching agreements between Iran and the United States in upcoming talks in Muscat, Oman. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will meet with United States envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on Friday. The US is said to be demanding that Iran dismantle its nuclear program, reduce the range of its ballistic missiles so they cannot reach Israel, grant amnesty to those arrested during recent protests, reduce oil exports to China, and reach an agreement to end hostilities. A report cited by Al Jazeera claimed that Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt proposed a framework in which Iran would freeze uranium enrichment at 3% and later be allowed to enrich to 1.5%. The outline also reportedly included moving 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% to a third country, with Iran agreeing not to export weapons and technology to proxy groups and to refrain from using ballistic missiles against certain targets.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, Lapid unveils plan to improve education system, and demands Education Ministry portfolio in the next government. The proposal, divided into five chapters, centers on improving conditions for both teachers and students through an investment of billions of shekels. It calls for NIS 10 billion to raise teachers’ salaries and improve working conditions to address a nationwide educator shortage. The plan also emphasizes ultra-Orthodox integration into Israeli society and proposes halting public funding for haredi educational institutions that do not teach core subjects such as math, English, science, and civics.
